1. 21. Cellular and molecular mechanisms in abdominal aortic aneurysm growth and rapture

   Författare :Monsur Kazi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :AAA; thrombus; proteases; NGAL; mast cells;

   Sammanfattning : Fragmentation of elastin, loss of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and accumulation of inflammatory cells are the histological landmarks of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In larger aneurysms, an intraluminal thrombus is almost always present. It has been suggested that the thrombus predisposes for AAA rupture. LÄS MER

3. 22. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm : Aspects on how to affect mortality from rupture

   Sammanfattning : Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a disease that mainly affects elderly men, and ruptured AAA (rAAA) is associated with a mortality of > 80%. AAA seldom gives any symptoms prior to rupture.The aims of this thesis were to investigate different aspects of how to affect mortality from rAAA. LÄS MER

4. 23. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm – Different Aspects on Screening

   Författare :Moncef Zarrouk; Vaskulära sjukdomar - kliniska studier; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Abdominal aortic aneurysm; screening; biomarkers; socioeconomic status;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a hideous life threatening disease that most often is asymptomatic until it ruptures. Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is a painful and serious predicament with a mortality of 80-90%. Half of the patients die before arriving to hospital, leaving family members in sorrow and shock. LÄS MER

5. 24. Lifestyle and risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm

   Författare :Otto Stackelberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Lifestyle-related factors associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease are very scarcely investigated in prospective design. Identification of such could provide better understanding of AAA epidemiology and etiology, and provide new hypotheses for studies on AAA growth rate in order to try to limit progression of the disease.

7. 25. Abdominal aortic aneurysm : gender aspects on risk factors and treatment

   Författare :Emma Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a common condition in the Western world and an important cause of sudden death. Recent research emphasizes that although women are inherently less likely to develop AAA, those who do develop AAA seem to have a more unfavorable aneurysm disease than men with higher rupture risk and also exhibit higher standardized mortality ratio after intervention.
